French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Jody.Drummer]

I actually do not think that anyone cares about the French League. Everybody knows that PSG is going to be the winner of the league unless something incredible happens. The only reason why PSG lost the league title is because of their own fault. Otherwise, there is no other team which can actually successfully beat them. I mean beat them for that title. And PSG cannot do well in the Champions League. So any fan of this League and even the fans of PSG are not satisfied with the quality of football that they watch.

Well Ligue 1 might look less interesting than English Premier League and La Liga for example where there is a bunch of teams fighting between each other. I think Ligue 1 got some boost thanks to PSG in the last decade, otherwise all the other teams will rank the league less than Eredivisie or even Liga Portugal in my opinion.
When we take a look on Marseille for example, they are fluctuating very hard from top positions to mid-table with a draw against Metz at the bottom of the table. Lyon is another sad example where this team is fighting for survival in Ligue 1

Ligue 1 is not yet comparable to the top leagues in Europe, like the Premier League for example, their differences are still far away especially in the competitive level of the league. We can see how fierce competition can be presented in the English League, but we cannot see the same thing in Ligue 1.
In Ligue 1 practically only Paris Saint Germain have everything to be able to show something good, for other clubs they have not been able to reach that level. Even for Paris Saint Germain, when they compete with the elite clubs in Europe they look like an ordinary club.
I believe the competitive level of the domestic league will greatly affect how they perform in European competitions, it is one of the weaknesses that Paris Saint Germain currently have, so when they are not used to the pressure at the domestic level, they will be surprised when they get it at the European level.

Quite annoyed with Marseille's performance and after all getting a red card for one of the players whose team we are leading to win is never predictable in football. Because of the red card, all predictions and performances of the teams I bet on were messed up and the result was a 1-1 draw against Metz. Even though I was only missing one match, I was able to close the multibet with quite big winning odds, but it looks like I was out of luck.

This result is certainly quite detrimental for Marseille because they failed to secure full points at home and they only sit in 7th position and they have to bounce back in the next match if they still want to fight for a top 4 position. Moreover, today there will be a PSG vs Lille match, so Lille will not be able to increase their points tally considering that PSG will clearly win.

The overall odds are 25.6 - a pretty bold bet from you. Or is this not the whole bet and there are still some outcomes below that we do not see, so the overall odds are even greater?
I should note that you have a lot of random (in the sense that they look like that to me) games where the favorite is unclear or small teams play. I am afraid to place bets in such pairs because I do not fully understand the balance of power there. Even in a game with a clear favorite Marseille - Metz, the outcome looks unreliable since Marseille has only 7 wins and 9 draws, they do not look like a team capable of reliably realizing their advantage over outsiders.

[Minecache]

I was also taking that Metz is going to lose the game easily to Marseille because Marseille is in a much better situation and they are in the better form than Metz. Also, Marseille is the team they are in the middle of the French League while Metx is racing to get out of the danger zone and they are about to even get relegated from the league.
So far the one red card in Marseille was really effective in the first half and maybe that's why the game is still 0-0 between Marseille and Metz.

This match is as I predicted, if there will not be many goals in this match, I predict Under 2.5 goals with odds @ 1.91. and yes, the result of this match ended with a score of 1-1. unfortunately, one of Marseille's players was given a red card, namely Samuel Digot. but amazingly, Marseille was still able to score a goal in the 56th minute. unfortunately, Marseille was unable to maintain its lead and Metz was able to equalize the lead in the 61st minute.

Referring to match statistics, Marseille dominated with 66% of ball possession. 18 total shots, 4 big chances. even though Marseille actually played with only 10 players. meanwhile, Metz didn't offer much resistance. Metz only had 3 total shots, 3 shots on target, 2 big chances. As a result, this match ended in a 1-1 draw. Marseille remains in the same ranking, as does Metz, remaining in 16th place. Both teams only got the same one point.

Marseille played almost around 60 minutes of the match with having only 10 players on the field. And Metz where still unable to take advantage of that. I think they definitely should have got 3 points from this match. But in the end, the points were shared in this match. The final score was 1-1. And even after Marseille got a player sent off on the 31st minute they were the one to actually break the deadlock. If they had all 11 players on the field at all times of the match I think they definitely were going to win this match. Marseille will have to improve their performance. Because the last 5 matches have not been good at all from them.

The results were quite fair in the Marseille vs Metz match, the two teams had to draw and Marseille failed to get three points to move up to the Europe League spot standings position with 5 points remaining from AS Monaco on 5th position standings. Personally Marseille is favorite team for winning the match but had to played with 10 players since 31th minutes make it difficult for controlling the games. Samuel Gigot had received direct red card and become problem for Marseille had to play more than 70 minutes left with ten players.

Had managed awhile after Faris Moumbagna scored the goal on 56th minutes but it couldn't last long after Matthieu Udol equalized in the 61st minute. Marseille need improving their performance upcoming match if want secure one spot in Europe League or Champion League standings next season, not gap many points left for Marseille to return top fourth position place.

Actually, it's quite easy for Lyon if they want to get into the top 10 but they have to get 3 or 4 wins in a row, but it's very unlikely to happen because in the next match against Montpellier and Metz Lyon could win, but against Nice it will be a big problem for Lyon because even though they're not very strong but Nice can embarrass its opponents.
At least Lyon can try to get 3 points consistently and definitely still have a big chance of returning to the top 10.

Lyon are improving their performance which bring them to better spot but still it's a long way to go for them if they want to have better end of the season with avoiding relegation is their first priority.

Because now we are in 21st week and its surely tough time few teams are improving their performance, and they are trying to have better end so for Lyon it's really time to stay at better level because it's not easy now tomorrow they are going to face Montpellier which is also worst team and having not win in last few matches if they are able to have better result then surely this could be booster for them because after having win against Marseille now their confident is high, and they can achieve good results against any team which is struggling, but they need to give their best as well.

The match of Lens vs Strasbourg team has started in French Soccer League. The game between two teams is very intense. So far Lens team is leading by 3 goals. On the other hand Strasbourg team has scored 1 goal. Strasbourg team may not score any more goals because the players of Strasbourg team  Can't play well. Lens team may score some more goals in this match. Let's see how many goals Lens team can win by the end of the game.

Yes indeed, teams like Marseille to Lyon who at least have a good history in the past in Ligue 1 but ya, when PSG dominates the league then it makes teams that in the past could compete on the title race but not in this era. Because after all, the reality is that the teams that try to compete with PSG on the title race are at least always different every season . Therefore, it at least proves that none of the teams in Ligue 1 are able to be consistent with good performance every season other than PSG. With this factor also then yes, of course PSG will always have a great chance to be like Bayer Munich in the Bundesliga who always manages to win the league trophy every season.

On the other hand Strasbourg team has scored 1 goal. Strasbourg team may not score any more goals because the players of Strasbourg team  Can't play well. Lens team may score some more goals in this match. Let's see how many goals Lens team can win by the end of the game.

Anyone who watched most of the games Lens played last season will easily bank on them to defeat Strasbourg at home. Last season in the French Ligue 1, Lens were surprisingly the second best team and were the only team that challenged Paris Saint Germaine for the league title until it became mathematically impossible for them to win the league ahead of the eventual champions but this season, Lens haven't been able to live up to the expectations of their fans.
The game is already in the 73rd minute and Lens are leading the the game with scoreline of 3:1 which is why I think they're gonna win the game

With this factor also then yes, of course PSG will always have a great chance to be like Bayer Munich in the Bundesliga who always manages to win the league trophy every season.

PSG always dominates league 1, which makes sense because behind it all there are great players in it and we all know who the best player is who can help PSG dominate League 1, namely Mbappe who to this day is still making the best contribution to getting the title in League 1 and without even a single team being able to beat PSG from the top of the standings.
but we have to think a little longer term, so what if PSG loses Mbappe but can't find a replacement player who has the same talent as Mbappe, will PSG still dominate league 1?
It is difficult to see PSG without Mbappe because he is PSG only hope at the moment and they have tried to find a replacement player like Gancalo Ramos, whose status is only on loan from another team, but in fact he is currently unable to provide brilliant achievements.

and from the strong side PSG has a weakness that has been very difficult to achieve for a long time, namely getting the title in the UCL even though it is very strong in league 1 and even has several players with quality talent but in fact they always fail to win the title in the UCL and I am sure after losing Mbappe everything has changed and there is another team that has replaced PSG at the top of the standings.

Whenever we are talking about the French League, there is no doubt that PSG is the team with a lot more power and much better players in this team than all other teams. In fact, PSG has better investors with a richer team they have they are much better than all other teams, I think PSG is the first hope for the title of the French League in any season and this can maybe make the French League a little bit annoying for other people to watch because the first time is clear for anymore and the only goal for PSG is mostly the Champions League.

The very significant difference in quality makes PSG very favorites to become champions and they are even favorites when the season hasn't started yet, this is very boring because there is no meaningful competition for PSG to win the title.
PSG's financial strength, which is quite different from other teams, makes the difference in everything.

However the uncompetitiveness of the French League actually harms PSG on the European stage, this has been proven so far PSG has not been able to win the Champion League title which they target every season.

It could be very boring, but it is also not their fault. I mean PSG gets a lot of hatred because of this, but the reality is that we are talking about a team that is trying to do their best to win, what should have they done, lose? Of course they will do their best to win and because they have a very very rich owner, that makes it easier for them to win it as well.

The problem is not PSG, they are doing what they should, the problem is other teams who are not owned by same level of rich people and this causes the teams to be worse. If owners could part ways with their team and sell it to some rich person, another team could be good, there are richer people than PSG owner as well, so if another team is bought by a richer person, they could dominate the league as well, or at least bring some competition.

Yes you guessed correctly about the overall odds but they were also reduced because the result of one of the matches was invalid. I only bet on those 5 matches and there are no other queues below them. I have to admit that this is a fairly random match selection, but I know very well that the team I bet on can be closer to my prediction. So this is not a reckless bet without looking at the statistics and I do it very carefully.

Marseille is as you have said but here I have a little confidence they will recover at home. But what happened was that one of the defenders got a red card and as we know, the defender's position is the most risky position for the team to concede. Even though Marseille initially took the lead, because there were no good defenders in the remainder of the match, Marseille still conceded to Metz.

[QueenVera]

Marseille has tight schedules this week because after the match against Metz they have to fight against Shakhtar Donetsk at play off stages of Europa league so probably Genarro Gattuso will do some rotation to Marseille squad because the match against Shakhtar Donetsk also so important for Marseille and actually they will gets easy opponent Metz because we all know Metz was failed to managed their consistency and their records is very poor because in the last 8 matches in all competitions Metz was gets 7 loses and only get 1 draw and these results too makes them in the relegation zone with 16 points

Actually since Gattuso handle this team Marseille has no significant progress because they were still unstable even in the last 4 matches Marseille was failed to gets the winning results and last week surprisingly they were lost from Lyon and for the match today as usual Marseille still rely on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a striker and compared to other Marseille forward players only Aubameyang who can able to performing well and so far his records is quite impressive with 6 goals and 7 assists in Ligue 1 and actually if Marseille can managed their consistency it's not hard to beat Metz even the bookmakers provided low odds for them @1.46 so let see Marseille can able to bounce back and win the match or they will be failed to win again

Marseille had a fair encounter earlier today against Metz, both sides also managed to net in goals for themselves. Well the outcome of the game didn't necessarily influence their table standings but it was worthwhile. It's a confidence booster for both teams. Especially for Marseille.

 They've got the Europa League encounter ahead of them and most definitely, they've got to try to act better than they've always done. They shouldn't trade chances and their opponent has for seasons past been reselient in their European quests. Let's just see how the next European cup games would turn out for all the advanced teams too. Even though it's much expected that Marseille will be the victor in the end, it's certain that it won't also be an easy stride for them too.

[hahay]

Wheter PSG really serious about preparing for the match in the Champion League later, because in this match against Lille that is going on, in fact Luis Enrique also benches Mbappe. Indeed, PSG can still win at half time with a score of 2-1 even without Mbappe . But ya, I think even if Luis Enrique still to play Mbappe in this match, I think PSG will still be fine to play against Real Sociedad later . Because after all,the first leg is also the fact that PSG will play at home and therefore, PSG will still have a good chance to still winning too. But ya, it is possible that Mbappe will be played in the second half because after all, basically Mbappe also has no problems about injuries and of course, Mbappe will also remain fine even if played in this match against Lille.

[Weawant]

Lille was already ahead by a goal at the sixth minute of the game and I had to Wonder what was it this people have for today's game because it's very unusual for them to be facing a big team as big as PSG and getting such an early goal and which seemed like they may become a problem to PSg and may put PSg at a very tight corner to win.

Interestingly the first half is yet to end and PSG is already leading by two goals already, so PSG was able to stage a come back and are now currently ahead which I must commend as very impressive as this means that by the end of the game, they may be able to secure even more goals as they have not played in the second half yet but just about rounding up the first half of the game. PSG still remains superior in this games and is most definitely going to win this game because after PSG had their second goal that kept them ahead they now perform even better than how they Started the game.

Giving Kylian Mbappe enough rest time is important. Luis Enrique certainly has a thorough plan before determining his line-up against Lille, but he might play Kylian Mbappe if the match doesn't go according to plan. Maybe this is a risky choice for PSG, but PSG must be quite realistic and perhaps should not rely on one player who is likely to leave at the end of the season.

This match against Lille is important, but Kylian Mbappe needs time to rest so that his performance remains optimal in the Champions League last 16 match against Real Sociedad. Luis Enrique knows the capacity of his team and the abilities of his players, so he definitely has a good plan for that. Enrique also has a lot of experience against Real Soceidad in La Liga, so I think he has the edge to win that round of 16.

[youdacapt]

This match against Lille is important

So far, it has been a calm showing for PSG against Lille, as they lead by 2 goals to 1 thanks to a Ribiero own goal in the early stages of the second half. If PSG maintain their lead and get all 3 points; they will be top with 11 points over second placed Lille side.

It’s been a fantastic build for Luis Enrique in the French league with PSG

Kylian Mbappe have already feature for Paris Saint Germaine on many occasions this season and I think it was a very good decision for Luis Enrique to rest his best player in other to keep him fit for more challenging games ahead especially in the UEFA Champions League competition.
The game is in the final 5 minutes of normal time and Paris Saint Germaine is leading by three goals to one and would definitely win this particular game if you ask me. Winning against Lille who's not been consistent this season shouldn't be a big issue for Paris Saint Germaine if you ask me and I'm very sure they're gonna defend their two goals advantage and take all three points from the game.

Kylian Mbappe is the primary player everyone intends to gaze upon. His performances are classic and robust, and he hopes to become the most valued player in European football after Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. He is still young and has many more years of potential in football. He simply requires to make the correct decision to enhance his personal style. Forward to the current game today, Lille was unable to withstand the pressure put on them by Les Parisiens, and they struggled to secure their territory after conceding more goals to PSG, who dominated all areas of the play. 3-1, Paris Saint-Germain secured the essential victory over their opponents.

I will want to differ from this idea as kylian mbappe is the best and get such attention mostly when it comes to the french league because that's where his prowess is domicile and where you can say for sure that he's got they best of performance amongst all others in the french league but across Europe I think it's different.

If we are talking about across Europe there are better comparison you can make with kylian mbappe , this isn't me trying to dispute his brilliance of playing down on his performance a d ability to get his team the kind of results they ha e always desired but I'm only trying to say across Europe there are others in this era who are Young and are performing so we'll aside kylian mbappe and Ronaldo as you did mentioned so after Ronaldo who's undoubtedly the GOAT, in recent times there are other players who you can compare with mbappe across Europe.

This match against Lille is important

So far, it has been a calm showing for PSG against Lille, as they lead by 2 goals to 1 thanks to a Ribiero own goal in the early stages of the second half. If PSG maintain their lead and get all 3 points; they will be top with 11 points over second placed Lille side.

It’s been a fantastic build for Luis Enrique in the French league with PSG

This victory made Paris Saint-Germain unstoppable at the top of the League One standings, and with this victory it also made Paris Saint-Germain lead with 50 points from 21 matches, 11 points ahead of Nice, the second ranked team. While Lille is stuck in fourth place with 35 points, of course this victory makes Paris Saint-Germain more relaxed and can make the Champions League their main focus this season. This was seen because Enrique deliberately did not play Mbappe in that match, in order to maintain the player's fitness to face Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Champions League. Enrique also wants to prove that without Mbappe Paris Saint-Germain can score goals and win. So Enrique wants to say that he doesn't just rely on one player to win.
